- Admin History/Bio
- Arthur Shainberg was from Poland, possibly born in Warsaw, to parents Szeiny and Dobny (née Nusymowicz). His father was originally from Opatow, and his mother was from Ostrowiec. Arthur had four brothers—David, Chaim, Moishe, and Yosl—and a sister—Lena. He immigrated to the United States and, by the mid-1940s, was living in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He appears to have worked for Simon’s Supply Co., a plumbing and heating supplies company.
- Alternate spellings of his surname include Szeinberg and Sheinberg.
